HOW TO TELL THE STORY OF THE ROMANIAN HOLOCAUST

How can we speak today of the extermination of Jews and Roma in Romania under the Antonescu regime? Two voices, two approaches, come together. In Géographie des ténèbres. Bucarest – Transnistrie – Odessa, 1941-1981 [Geography of Darkness. Bucharest – Transnistria – Odessa, 1941-1981] (Fayard), Marta Caraion blends family investigation, archival research, and literary writing to explore the traces left by deportation and persecution, embedding them in a shared memory. With La Roumanie et la Shoah. Destruction et survie des Juifs et des Roms sous le régime Antonescu, 1940-1944 [Romania and the Holocaust. Destruction and Survival of Jews and Roma under the Antonescu Regime, 1940-1944] (CNRS Éditions), historian and diplomat Radu Ioanid provides a rigorous analysis of the extermination mechanisms revealed by the secret archives of the regime. A discussion on the stakes of memory, history, and transmission.
